Hey,
So I've just joined this forum the other week and am still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of it. I am 22 years old and in the process of buying my own first bike, a FZ6R obviously. A 2012 white one to be exact.
I've been riding since I was a little kid, about 8 or 9. I started out on a Yamaha PW80 that was originally bought for my older brother. He wrecked once and was too scared to try again, so I begged my dad to let me try. When I got in my teens, my dad let me use his street/trail bike, a Yamaha XT 450 which was from the 80's. We had to retire that bike since it was on it's last leg. It's was a couple years until I got back on a bike. Recently, my dad bought a Harley Dyna Lowrider. Surprisingly, he trusted me to take it out for a spin even though it was brand new and it is defiantly way too big and heavy for me. I managed though! But seeing as how I'm not a middle aged man looking for a mid-life crisis fix, a Harley just isn't my thing.
A local bike rally, Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown, PA, has tons of test rides available so I did some demos on about 6 various bikes. When I first sat on the FZ6R I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for. The test ride was even better. It was so smooth and felt great.
So here I am now, a few weeks away from getting my dream bike. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I finally get it! Any thoughts or comments are welcome!
